Hi All,
Looking over the Exclusions and Shapes specification, I couldn't find a reference to what shape x and y offsets are relative to in a CSS property value like:
shape-inside: rectangle(10px, 10px, 80px, 80px);
I had originally assumed these offsets were relative to the content box [1], but as percentages are now resolved based on the box-sizing property [2], I think it would make sense to make a shape's x and y offsets relative to the same box.
As one additional question, are shape-outside and shape-inside positioned and sized based on the same box? I think this would make the most sense, but that would make shape-outside positioned based on the content box by default.
